You can switch station positions by simply unplugging from the old parent and plugging into a new one. After you do, in order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, you must reset the OSD. See RESET STATION IDS, p. 24, for details.

Note: If the computer’s Operating System does not support hot plugging, this function may not work properly.

MHot Plugging CPU Ports:

In order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, you must manually reconfigure the OSD information for the new Port information. See the F3 SET (p. 20) and F4 ADM (p. 22), functions for details.
